In “Passin' Me By,” The Pharcyde refer to the aphorism of someone being “out of your league”—no matter how much you long for someone, it doesn’t mean that your wish will come true.
The song is the second single from The Pharcyde’s debut album, Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde.
It peaked at #1 on the Hot Rap Singles, #52 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #28 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks charts in the spring of 1993. Later, Pitchfork Media included the song at #41 on their Top 200 Tracks of the 90’s.
